Been a long time since I posted. Doing a corporate trip this spring and would like to target big brookies. Sutton might be out of my price range but was looking at the Albany river or the Ogoki? or maybe the Esnagami? or Dusey?anybody out there have any experience on any of these waters?

Nipigon isn't my flavor, to big and too much pressure.Looking for wadeable water.

I’ve read up quite a bit on this. The Ogoki is supposed to be appreciably cooler than the Albany, so fish are easier to locate. God’s River in Manitoba is still first class. The Albany has monsters but if you don’t go early you might not be able to find active fish. Opichuan is wadeable and has big boys. That said, there are 20” Brook Trout around the Nipigon on wadeable waters. I’ve landed them up to 19-20”, didn’t get a measurement on my biggest but he was definitely bigger than my verified 18.25 from last summer. The Coasters are hanging around all year. If you want to fish a lake and do some wading as well, Fortress Lake has scary sized fish, 26+. It’s in BC and I believe it’s around 2k a week. Kwagama Lake Lodge near Wawa has monsters, with plenty of prime wadeable stuff in the area like the Agawa, where I’ve found 17” fish. That’s about $1400 a week and includes food and a boat.

Sutton River downstream of Hudson Bay looks legendary. They arm your canoe with a shotgun for polar bear prevention. 20+++ brookies are abundant. There is video out there on YouTube. Week long camp and float. On the bucket list. R

Just got word that God's river and Sutton are within our price range!!

Looks like the God's is a lot of water compared to the Sutton. Thoughts?

God’s River and Lake is excellent for Walleye, Pike, Lakers and Brookies. That said, the Sutton is at another level if you just want Brookies, no question. Probably the highest average size in the world.

I made an account just to chime in and say I floated the Sutton two summers ago. I was everything they say. Mouse and streamers for 20" brookies. Incredible. Saw bear and caribou from the canoe. Very easy float and the fishing was easy even though we had no guide.

I thought you were legally required to have a guide?Welcome to the forum. Stick around, we don’t bite

I've fished a few different lakes in the Winisk River system for warm water species but never for trout. They do have a trout trip also that we wanted to go on but it never happened. If I had my choice though id try to hit the Ashewig River. It eventually flows into the Winisk River so essentially both rivers hold the same fish.

Asheweig is another good one, absolutely!
